Ooo it’s nice to see someone else who takes a somewhat lazy approach to sourdough. I leave my starter in the fridge and then bring it out once a week to make two loaves. I do slightly more in the way of stretch and folds but I genuinely enjoy getting my hands a bit sticky! I wouldn’t be winning prizes for beautiful loaves on instagram but I’m also not obsessing over the perfect timing or kneading the dough for 10 minutes in a stand mixer….I am lucky to have solar power so all energy costs are offset because I only ever back during the day. And for me, one of the other main advantages is no more plastic bread bags!!!!
Glad to create a sisterhood! I’ve go a mate on my allotment whose attitude to planting is ‘take it easy, plants want to grow’. I reckon dough and rising it pretty similar. And vey good point about the plastic bags. I’m doing a lot of Vinted atm and finding a plastic bag in my house is pretty difficult but I guess people would be a bit surprised to have their t-shirt turn up in an old package of Hovis Best.
